Asked about the president's (very bad) advice that North Carolinians should first vote by mail and then vote again in person, William Barr pleaded ignorance as to the specifics of that particular act. jonathanchait writes
Photo: Drew Angerer/Getty Images In an interview yesterday evening with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer, Attorney General William Barr avidly defended President Trump’s efforts to undermine the 2020 election. Barr not only offered his customary defense of his boss’s wild, paranoid lies, but repeatedly contradicted conclusions by his own government.

Preliminary? Might? It is happening, right now. American intelligence reported earlier this month on ongoing Russian election interference. I have put the verbs in boldface. Notice they are all in the present, not the future, tense: And Blitzer asked Barr about Trump’s advice yesterday that his voters should all vote twice, first by mail, and then again in person. Barr pleaded ignorance as to the specifics of that particular act.
